Chapter 1098: Smiley Face
Rongguang's goal ignited the passion in the entire Tuodong Stadium, and Rongguang also felt this feeling.
He is now convinced that he was 100 per cent right to fight for these fans and choose to return to China to play.
He is not for the achievements of those football association officials, nor for the personal hobbies of a big leader.
He did this simply because there are a lot of people in China who love football.
But for a variety of reasons, many of them had to say goodbye to the football they loved, some were ashamed to admit that they liked football, and some were completely disappointed in football......
But they still love, or once did, love football.
For the sake of these people, Glory should also come back and wear a jersey with a five-star red flag embroidered on the chest.
They should continue to love football.

In the next game, Rongguang was in better shape.
Before the end of the first half, he once again relied on his individual ability to break through into the box and then push the ball home. 2:0!
The glory also scored twice!
Syria had no power to fight back in the face of the glorious offensive, and the game was firmly controlled by the Chinese team.
During the fifteen-minute break, in the studio behind CCTV, the host and guests were reviewing the first half, and the most common thing everyone said was "the glory is very strong".
The first half showed the strength of the glory.
The fans, on the other hand, felt that the fifteen-minute break was too long and they couldn't wait to see the glorious second half in the future.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV did not leave the TV for fear of missing the opening of the second half, and even watched all the commercials they usually don't like to watch.
In the second half, when the Chinese players took the lead on the court, cheers rang out in the Tuodong Stadium.
The camera of the TV broadcast firmly follows the glory, and the camera follows him wherever he goes.
He is the only star of this stage, and everyone else is his supporting foil.
Just five minutes after the start of the second half, Rong Guang scored another goal for the Chinese team with a direct free kick!
3:0!
The Chinese team led Syria by three goals, and at the same time, Rongguang also completed a hat trick!
"See I'm right! Glory really scored a hat-trick! Zhang Shunfa's son shouted excitedly as he celebrated with his father.
The Chinese fans in the stands went crazy and were thrilled with Rongg's hat-trick.
You must know that the Syrian team is in a group with the Chinese team in this Asian Cup qualifiers, and the Chinese team has played Syria twice, and the best result is only a 0:0 draw at home.
On the road, they lost 2-3.
It can be said that Syria is the number one bitter host of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup qualifiers.
But now, the glorious national team has led Syria by three goals so easily......
The contrast between before and after is really embarrassing.
If we had recruited Rongguang to join the national team a long time ago, let alone a place in the Asian Cup, maybe we would have had a chance to go to South Africa!

Glory did not stop after completing a hat-trick, and in the 67th minute, Syria attacked in a big way in order to save face, and wanted to score a goal.
As a result, their attack was cut off by Yang Hao.
At this time, Yang Hao did not follow Gao Hongbo's instructions, cooperate with the short pass, and advance as a whole.
He looked up and saw the glory ahead, so he didn't think about it, and directly passed the football with a big foot.
Rong Guang faced the football flying from behind, stopped very beautifully, stopped the football firmly two meters in front of him, and then accelerated the ball, and shook off the Syrian players who came up to defend him.
Next is Glory's solo performance......
He ran wildly with the ball and accelerated past the last Syrian defender on the edge of the box with a change of direction to get into the box.
The Syrian goalkeeper who threw the attack in the face was about to shoot, but after the deceived opponent fell to the ground, he slammed the football in the opposite direction.
Then he stepped over the goalkeeper who had fallen to the ground, passed the goalkeeper so easily, caught up with the football, and gently pushed the football into the empty goal!
"Glory! Glory! Pretty! The ball is in! The ball went in again!! Liu Hong stood up on the commentary seat, raised his arms and shouted.
Although it was just a warm-up game for ordinary people, everyone from the fans to the commentators was very excited.
Because this is a moment that Chinese footballers have been looking forward to for too long......
Not just the fans, but also the commentators and media reporters.

In the end, Gao Hongbo replaced Rongguang in advance in the 71st minute, on the one hand, so that Rongguang could enjoy the cheers of more than 40,000 fans alone, and on the other hand, it also took into account that Rongguang would inevitably get tired after a long journey, and he would not be able to draw more in case of injury or something.
In addition, his problem is still unsolved - how to integrate Glory and the team?
Judging from the 71-minute game, Rongguang is out of the limelight, and being able to win is all the credit of Rongguang alone, and it has little to do with the other players of the Chinese team.
He felt that he could not rely on Glory's individual ability, so he swapped Glory and examined the team's own performance against Syria.
In this warm-up match, the opponents of the Chinese team are all Syria, which is exquisite.
Because the Chinese team was assigned to a group with the host Qatar in the Asian Cup at the beginning of next year. Therefore, I specially found a Middle Eastern team in the warm-up match, just to let the team adapt to the style of play and style of West Asian football and prepare for the group stage to play Qatar.
Glory in the limelight is something that everyone likes to do, but as a head coach, Gao Hongbo thinks it means nothing to the team itself.
When Rong Guang left the game, he was indeed greeted with standing cheers and applause from the fans.
After the glory ended, the frenzied atmosphere of the game also weakened, and the Chinese team seemed to have lost the buff, and the table also decreased slightly.
But luckily, we didn't concede a goal.
Of course, there were no goals either.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Syria 4-0 in Kunming.

After the game, the excited Chinese fans were reluctant to leave for a long time. At first they sang and danced and cheered in the stands. The players of the Chinese national team also went around the field to thank the fans who came to support them.
Then the fans gathered outside the stadium and sang songs such as "Singing the Motherland" to celebrate the victory.
If you just look at this battle, you will definitely think that it is a World Cup victory.
But it's really just a warm-up game.
Chinese fans have been so depressed before, so a victory in a warm-up match can let them release their feelings to the fullest.
At the same time, the Chinese fans are really satisfied, and a victory in a warm-up match is enough to make them so happy......
They gathered around the bus, singing and dancing.
The boys of the Chinese national team were also very happy to see this scene in the car - they were not scolded as pigs after the game, but there were so many fans waving the national flag to cheer for them, such a scene is too rare for them to see.
Glory was waving to the fans outside the window.
He's always trying to meet the demands of the fans as much as possible, and that's the case when he comes back to China. In the car, it is impossible for him to get out of the car to sign autographs and take pictures of these fans, but it is possible to wave his hand and show goodwill.
At this time, the bus also started slowly and drove outside.
There were so many people around, so the bus drove very slowly.
The police erected a wall in front of the fans to separate them from the car and prevent accidents.
The speed of the bus was finally able to lift up a bit.
At this time, Rongguang suddenly saw a face in the crowd, that face disappeared in a flash, and when he looked for it again, the car had already driven away, and he couldn't see clearly in the vast sea of people.
But that face still caught his attention.
Because of the scene he suddenly had at the World Junior Championships in the Netherlands, where the owner of that face squeezed out of the crowd and then knelt in front of him......
At that time, he was deeply shocked and made him realize for the first time what a "Chinese fan" is!
It is also the owner of this face that made Rongguang five years later make up his mind to return to the national team, put aside his grievances with the Chinese Football Association, put on the jersey of the Chinese team, and fight for the fans.
It can be said that this man is the most crucial person who can join the national team.
Five years have passed, but I didn't expect to see him again at the scene of the national team competition...... This is really gratifying to Rongguang.
Seeing that he is still watching the national team's games, and seeing that he has not given up, Rongguang is very happy.
Then it makes sense for me to come back this time.
Maybe he didn't know that he decided to return to the home team because of him, but as long as he was happy......
Glory turned his head, withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and smiled.
It made him happier and happier than his senior against Syria.
It's great to see so many happy smiling faces......
